The Selecao is becoming a Rossoneri hunting ground after Juan also stated his desire to join Milan next season.

“My dream would be to join Milan,” he told the ‘Corriere dello Sport’. “They are a great club – the best, in fact.”

The central defender was on target in this weekend’s 4-0 friendly win over Chile and is eager to complete the San Siro Brazilian colony that already includes Nelson Dida, Kaka, Ronaldo, Serginho, Marcos Cafu and Ricardo Oliveira.

“It is a side packed with Brazilians and you can see their desire to get back to winning ways, much like Real Madrid.”

Juan currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen and turned 28 last month. He joined the Bundesliga outfit in 2002 for just over £2m.

“In all probability we will lose Juan,” conceded Bayer director and former Roma Coach Rudi Voeller. “It is not yet decided whether he will go to Roma or another southern European club.”

Milan have made no secret of their desire to increase their Brazilian contingent and the prime target is Barcelona’s Ronaldinho.

If we really get him I think we should get rid of someone.

Cafu -> 99.9% sure that he is leaving for Brasil in the summer

Billy -> 100% sure he will retire

Maldini -> 50% chance of him staying on for 1 more season

Kaladze/Simic -> One of them will surely have to go. I would personally prefer to keep Kala since he is better and younger then Simic. But it would be better to get rid of both.

Sergio -> 50% chance of him going to Brasil.

Favalli - 75% sure he will retire, we have no need for him.

So basically our defence should look something like this:

Oddo, Bonera, Nesta, Maldini, Kala/Smic, a new good CB (Juan?), Janku, Sergio, Grimi.

And for a back up RB our scouts should really take a good look around Brasil, there are probably 100s of RBs there that are in the Cafu and Sergio mold ie. very attack minded.
